Permanent futures contracts use funding rates to maintain the contract’s price close to its spot value.
If the funding rate of an asset is positive, then its contract price will be higher than its current price and traders are more likely to hold long positions.
In the opposite case, more traders will hold short positions when a particular asset has a negative funding rate. It means more traders expect the price of the asset to drop than those who buy the asset in the hope that it will rise.
Long-term traders can be victims
It is a post Santiment said that ADA may have a reason for its surge in short positions. The on-chain provider of data has revealed that

According to ADA, the 18th of June saw a total ADA liquidation of $2.86 millions, which is its highest single-day amount since 13 April. Coinglass data.
